Survive the night and uncover conspiracies as a fledgling PI embroiled in the vampire politics of 1980s Las Vegas in a narrative-driven horror cRPG set in the World of Darkness

Between the mountains and deserts of Nevada lies the not-so-hidden gem. Las Vegas is experiencing a vampire overpopulation problem, putting tensions to the limits of the various vampire factions that have formed.

Vampire: Blood & Vice is a classic cRPG containing all the features we would list when describing the ultimate Vampire: The Masquerade roleplaying experience. No shortcuts: we are designing a full-fledged Chronicle in the Unity engine.

The initial demo for Vampire: Blood & Vice was titled “Sunset Chronicles: Sin City Blues,” which was one of the three winners of the Vampire: The Masquerade Game Jam 2022.

Since then, our technical team has continued iterating on the prototype while our narrative team has expanded the full chronicle outline and developed the broader setting.

The current demo available for download is a streamlined prototype of the basic gameplay. At this stage, the demo has limited features with players currently experiencing the story through the perspective of Desiree Bardot, a Brujah journalist.

Current Features:

• Branching Dialogue with Attribute + Skill Dice Rolls
• Turn-Based Combat with Discipline Abilities
• Dialogue-Based Puzzles
• Limited Character Customization

Planned Features:

• More Substantial Character Customization
  • Gender & Name
  • 5 Origins
  • 14 Clans
• Hunting and Social Simulation
• Visual Puzzles

Developing this prototype has been an invaluable learning experience. However, because the initial version was created under the tight timeline of the game jam, it was built on a rushed technical foundation that eventually caused development delays. Now that we’ve finally reached a stable release, the team will prepare a new foundation to rebuild the game from the ground up using improved tools and workflows discovered since the 2022 game jam. This new foundation will allow us to realize the full vision for Vampire: Blood & Vice.

Your Coterie companions are not just combat allies; they are deeply involved in the narrative, reacting to your every decision and shaping their own fates based on your actions.

The Doctor

Tremere

 A troubled doctor searching for the source of a mysterious new illness that killed his wife. He is your first companion in your quest as his goals become aligned with yours to find out who turned you into a vampire.  His analytic and calculating mind may become quite handy in your investigation. 

Anastasia Kaminska

The Nun

Lasombra

A former nun fleeing a shadowed past, she reinvented herself as a heavy metal enthusiast, drawn to Las Vegas because it is one of the few Camarilla domains welcoming to the Lasombra, only to find herself snared in a new predicament she desperately wants to escape. Though she can be difficult to handle, her swordsmanship and Oblivion shadows are invaluable when it’s time to settle things with brute force.
